Dera Ismail Khan: Dera Ismail Khan is becoming very important city due to its ideal geographical location on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) route and the city needed modern residential facilities, Special Assistant to Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Industry and Trade Abdul Karim Khan said.

He maintained that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial government was committed for provision of residential, health, education and other facilities to the citizens without any discrimination.

The special assistant expressed satisfaction over the quality and pace of the ongoing work at the site, he added.

Khan said the quality and planning of the ongoing work was in accordance with international engineering standards for which the administration of the project deserved appreciation.
